RALEIGH, NC and QUEBEC CITY, Oct. 1 (http://www.investorideas.com/ biotech stocks blog ) - Medicago U.S.A. Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Medicago Inc. (TSX: MDG ), a biotechnology company focused on developing highly effective and affordable vaccines based on proprietary manufacturing technologies and Virus-Like Particles (VLPs), today announced that company executives, along with U.S. Senator Kay Hagan (D-NC) and U.S. Congressman David Price (D-NC), are holding an official groundbreaking ceremony this morning for its U.S. plant-based commercial grade vaccine facility in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Medicago U.S.A. also announced the appointment of Mike Wanner as Vice President of U.S. Operations.



With today's groundbreaking ceremony, Medicago U.S.A. officially commenced the construction of its cGMP facility in Research Triangle Park (RTP), North Carolina. This VLP plant-based vaccine facility will include a fully automated greenhouse and a state of the art extraction and purification unit. The facility is targeted to produce 10 million doses of pandemic influenza vaccine per month. On an annual basis, the facility would have production capacity of 40 million doses of seasonal Influenza vaccine or 120 million doses of pandemic influenza vaccine.

"Thanks to the efforts and experience of our partners Alexandria Real Estate Equities and BE&K Building Group as well as our employees at Medicago, we are confident that this fast-track project will be delivered on time," said Andy Sheldon, President and CEO of Medicago. "North Carolina and RTP is a great place to build our business due to the excellent workforce, training programs and quality of life."

"We are very pleased to be working with Alexandria Real Estate Equities and with Medicago who is bringing this unique, rapid and cost-effective vaccine technology to North Carolina and to the Research Triangle Park," stated Joseph M. Raimondi, Project Executive of BE&K Building Group.

Mr. Wanner joins Medicago U.S.A. as Vice President of U.S. Operations and will lead the Company's U.S. expansion efforts. He was previously President and CEO of Abeome, a biotechnology company developing therapeutic and diagnostic monoclonal antibodies. Mr. Wanner served for over 11 years as CFO for Merial and Rhone Merieux, Inc. (RMI), one of the world's leading animal health companies, where he was involved in the construction and management of a large scale vaccine production facility in the U.S.

"Mike is a key addition to our senior management team. He brings tremendous experience in the vaccine industry and his hands on knowledge in the construction and management of a large-scale U.S. vaccine production facility will have immediate benefits in our U.S expansion efforts," stated Mr. Sheldon. "This expansion is a key part of our development plan for both our pandemic and seasonal influenza products as we will now have a U.S. commercial facility ready to participate in the $7B pandemic and seasonal influenza markets. Moreover, our U.S. facility will strengthen our relationships with key stakeholders in the U.S. and will provide us with enhanced access to the various grant programs for additional funding awards."

Members of the media are invited to attend the official ground breaking ceremony

About Medicago
Medicago is committed to providing highly effective and affordable vaccines based on proprietary Virus-Like Particle (VLP) and manufacturing technologies. Medicago is developing VLP vaccines to protect against pandemic and seasonal influenza using a transient expression system which produces recombinant vaccine antigens in non-transgenic plants. Their lead vaccine candidate, H5N1, has successfully completed a PI clinical trial and will be entering a PII clinical trial in 2010. Medicago's technology has potential to offer advantages of speed and cost over competitive technologies. It could deliver a vaccine for testing in about a month after the identification and reception of genetic sequences from a pandemic strain. This production time frame has the potential to allow vaccination of the population before the first wave of a pandemic strikes and to supply large volumes of vaccine antigens to the world market. Additional information about Medicago is available at http://www.medicago.com/.

Biotech Stocks; Meridian Bioscience (NASDAQ:VIVO) Receives Canadian License for illumigene™ C. difficile

Biotech Stocks; Meridian Bioscience (NASDAQ:VIVO)  Receives Canadian License for illumigene™ C. difficile


CINCINNATI--(http://www.investorideas.com/ biotech stocks blog )--Meridian Bioscience, Inc., (NASDAQ:VIVO) today announced that it has received an approved medical device license from Health Canada for its new molecular amplification assay, illumigene C. difficile. Clostridium difficile is a bacterium that can cause diarrhea and, in severe cases, a life-threatening inflammation of the colon. The illumigene molecular amplification assay detects the presence of the toxin producing region from the C. difficile DNA, and provides highly accurate results in under an hour. Meridian, a leading manufacturer of rapid immunoassay C. difficile tests, expands its existing portfolio with this new, simpler molecular assay. Having received this license, the Company will be uniquely positioned in the Canadian market to provide a full line of C. difficile testing solutions that meet the needs of its clinical lab customers.

The new illumigene C. difficile molecular diagnostic system provides high levels of sensitivity for diagnosing this serious, infectious disease. Its simple workflow requires minimal hands-on time per sample. The product has been recently launched successfully in the U.S. as well as in Australia, Taiwan and most European markets.
Jack Kraeutler, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Toxin producing C. difficile infections, especially in hospitalized patients, can have especially devastating consequences if not diagnosed and treated quickly. Because disease symptoms of C. difficile infection can strike patients at any hour of the day or night, Meridian designed illumigene C. difficile to enable real-time molecular testing in any lab at any time. With minimal hands-on time and virtually no capital expense, illumigene gives any infectious disease lab access to a convenient and powerful DNA amplification platform.”
Forward Looking Statements
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor from civil litigation for forward-looking statements accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements. Except for historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which may be identified by words such as "estimates", "anticipates", "projects", "plans", "seeks", "may", "will", "expects", "intends", "believes", "should" and similar expressions or the negative versions thereof and which also may be identified by their context. Such statements, whether expressed or implied, are based upon current expectations of the Company and speak only as of the date made. The Company assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed or implied therein will not be realized. These statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, including, without limitation, the following: Meridian's continued growth depends, in part, on its ability to introduce into the marketplace enhancements of existing products or new products that incorporate technological advances, meet customer requirements and respond to products developed by Meridian's competition. While Meridian has introduced a number of internally developed products, there can be no assurance that it will be successful in the future in introducing such products on a timely basis. Ongoing consolidations of reference laboratories and formation of multi-hospital alliances may cause adverse changes to pricing and distribution. Recessionary pressures on the economy and the markets in which our customers operate, as well as adverse trends in buying patterns from customers can change expected results. Costs and difficulties in complying with laws and regulations administered by the United States Food and Drug Administration can result in unanticipated expenses and delays and interruptions to the sale of new and existing products. Changes in the relative strength or weakness of the U.S. dollar can also change expected results. One of Meridian's main growth strategies is the acquisition of companies and product lines. There can be no assurance that additional acquisitions will be consummated or that, if consummated, will be successful and the acquired businesses successfully integrated into Meridian's operations. The Company cannot predict the possible effects of potential healthcare reform in the United States and similar initiatives in other countries on its results of operations. In addition to the factors described in this paragraph, Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors of our Form 10-K contains a list and description of uncertainties, risks and other matters that may affect the Company.
Meridian is a fully integrated life science company that manufactures, markets and distributes a broad range of innovative diagnostic test kits, purified reagents and related products and offers biopharmaceutical enabling technologies. Utilizing a variety of methods, these products and diagnostic tests provide accuracy, simplicity and speed in the early diagnosis and treatment of common medical conditions, such as gastrointestinal, viral and respiratory infections. Meridian’s diagnostic products are used outside of the human body and require little or no special equipment. The Company's products are designed to enhance patient well-being while reducing the total outcome costs of healthcare. Meridian has strong market positions in the areas of gastrointestinal and upper respiratory infections, serology, parasitology and fungal disease diagnosis. In addition, Meridian is a supplier of rare reagents, specialty biologicals and related technologies used by biopharmaceutical companies engaged in research for new drugs and vaccines.

TSX Biotech Stocks; Kane Biotech (TSX VENTURE:KNE), Announces Grant of Options

TSX Biotech Stocks; Kane Biotech (TSX VENTURE:KNE), Announces Grant of Options

(http://www.investorideas.com/ biotech stocks blog )
Kane Biotech Inc. (TSX VENTURE:KNE), a biotechnology company engaged in the development and commercialization of products that prevent and disperse microbial biofilms, announces today that it has granted an aggregate of 215,000 stock options at an exercise price of $0.10 per common share, to four independent directors of the Company. The options are set to expire five years from the date of grant and are subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance and the terms of Kane Biotech's stock option plan. In accordance with securities regulatory requirements, any shares issued pursuant to the exercise of such options will be subject to a resale restriction for a period of four months from the date of the grant.

About Kane Biotech Inc.
Kane Biotech is a biotechnology company engaged in the development and commercialization of products to prevent and disperse biofilms. Biofilms develop when bacteria, and other microorganisms, form a protective matrix that acts as a shield against attack. When in a biofilm, bacteria become highly resistant to antibiotics, biocides, disinfectants, high temperatures and host immune responses. This resiliency contributes to human health problems such as recurrent urinary tract infections, medical device associated infections and tooth decay.
Kane Biotech uses a patent protected technology based on molecular mechanisms of biofilm formation and methods for finding compounds that inhibit or disrupt biofilms. The Company has evidence that this technology has potential to significantly improve the ability to prevent and/or destroy biofilms in several medical and industrial applications.

Kane cautions that the foregoing list of important factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. When relying on Kane's forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to Kane, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events.
These risks and uncertainties should be considered carefully and prospective investors should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements.

UV Flu Technologies, Inc., (OTCBB: UVFT) Key Highlights and Recent Press
UV Flu Technologies, Inc., (OTCBB: UVFT) is an innovative developer, manufacturer and distributor of bio technology products initially targeting the rapidly growing Indoor Air Quality ("IAQ") industry sector. The Company manufactures the VIRATECH UV-400, which utilizes high-intensity germicidal ultraviolet radiation (UV-C) inside a killing chamber that goes beyond filtration to destroy harmful airborne bacteria at rates exceeding 99.2% on a first-pass basis. UV Flu is committed to providing clean air to improve health and prevent the spread of disease.
The company recently announced that in response to recent outbreaks of drug resistant superbugs such as NDM-1, and persistent occurrences of highly contagious strains of bacteria such as MRSA, the Company is implementing a national campaign to inform the public how its ViraTech UV-400 indoor air purifier significantly helps reduce exposure risks.
UV Flu Technologies, Inc., Key Highlights
FDA Approved as a Class II Medical device
Extensive testing by EPA and FDA certified laboratories confirm the proprietary system has over 99% effectiveness of eliminating bacteria
The Company's strategic differentiators include excellent independent test results proving the effectiveness and safety of its products, proprietary design, and FDA market clearance approving the sale of its products as medical devices.
The Company has been issued U.S. Patent No. 6939397 with 43 claims covering its innovative removable cartridge, housing, UV chamber, UV radiation source and baffle technology.
UV Flu's products are environmentally friendly. The energy efficient system does not use or produce ozone, uses less energy than a 100 watt light bulb and can qualify for Green Building programs.
